Book Reviews of Basic & Clinical Pharmacology (Basic and Clinical Pharmacology)

Book Review: Still the Best Basic Text
Summary: 5 Stars

Over the years I have purchased many editions of this classic text and have never been disappointed. Years ago I sat in Dr. Katzung's classes when he was a young man (and I was younger!) This book is invaluable because of its varied content--1. background physiology which is so important when one needs to review and keep up-to-date on new developments, 2. comparisons of chemical structures as new products come onto the market and 3. summary tables showing the different characteristics of the various drugs in any drug group and classification. This is the one clinical pharmacology text I wouldn't be without.

Summary of Basic & Clinical Pharmacology (Basic and Clinical Pharmacology)

The current science of pharmacology-and its clinical applications-at your fingertips

Now in its 25th year of publication, Basic and Clinical Pharmacology is the most up-to-date and complete pharmacology textbook available. Through nine previous editions it has set the standard for concise and easy-to-read, yet comprehensive coverage of pharmacology. The text's integration of basic with clinical science makes it well suited for an integrated organ-system-based curricula as well as the more traditional curricula.

  • Detailed review of the mechanism of action and toxicities of traditional and newer drugs
  • Critical discussions of treatment strategies and recommended drugs for all major diseases
